Given :liam works in a toy store that sells bags of marbles.He puts 10 marbles in each bag, and 4/10 of the marbles are striped.

To Find:.if liam makes 3 bags of marbles, how many striped marbles does he need?

Solution :

Since he put 10 marbles in each bag

in each bag 4/10 of marbes are striped

⇒
`(4)/(10) *10`

⇒
`4`

Thus 4 out of 10 are stiped

So. in each bag of 10 marbles 4 marbles are striped

So, in 3 bags of marbles, no. of striped balls are 3*4 =12

Hence he need 12 striped marbles for 3 bags
